How to burn a movie on MAC

Hi,
New to Mac and trying to figure out how to put and AVI movie onto a DVD. When I use iDVD it tells me the movie is too long. Any hints or should I be using another program? If so, what software is best.
Thanks

Roxio Toast is a viable option. Or you can use visual hub or mpegstreamclip to convert the avi to a format QT will easily recognize w/in iDvd (your choice).

Pretty basic this, but I'm a total beginner. Can anyone tell me (in simple steps!) how I burn a movie I bought in iMovies onto a DVD? After I stick the DVD in, what happens then? Sorry about the unsophisticated question. Thanks.

If you just want to burn it to a CD (or do you want this CD to play in a DVD player?) all you have to do is insert a blank CD, Choose to let the Finder handle it, drag and drop the file on the CD then drag and drop the file on the Trash (the Trash icon will change to a burn icon).

How to Burn iTunes Movie?

Sorry, but you can't.
Due to DRM purchased movies can't be burned to a DVD-Video that will work on a standalone player.

How to import a movie into mac

When I played a dvd from MAC and it always detroyed my DVD after a few times. Is there a way to import a movie into MAC?
Thanks.

If the drive is physically destroying DVD's you need to have it repaired. A DVD should play indefinitely for all intents and purposes.
There should not be any physical contact between the player and the disk.
If the system is out of warranty and you don't want to pay to have it repaired there are many 3rd party USB and/ FireWire DVD drives that you can purchase. for a reasonable price.

I recently installed the new operating system. iMovie doesn't seem to work the same as in Mountain Lion. I can't figure out how to burn a movie to a DVD. Has that feature been eliminated?

I am having difficulty figuring out how to burn my iMovie to a DVD. Has that feature been eliminated?

unbelievable... the amount of RAM is the issue... I found a post (http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=8448) on an unrelated matter, but the user solved their issue under X64 by limiting the amount of RAM WinXP x64 was using by editing the boot.ini file.
The basis of the "trick" is to add " /maxmem=4096" to the end of your OS line, but I elected to copy the line and add it to a new entry so I could easily select which "mode" i wanted at boot.... like so...
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition - X-Fi tweak" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /maxmem=4096
amazingly this solved my issue... but now my system properties only report 2Gb instead of 4Gb... unacceptable!
When Can I expect a fix for this Creative?

How to convert dvd movie to mac pc

how can i save my dvd home made movie to my macbook pro

DV files are crossplatform. If you don't have the original files, no one on this forum can help you, since it would require ripping DVDs,
which this forum does not allow discussion of.
If you do have the original files, look in the iMovie or iDVD or Final Cut forum on how to edit the DV files on the Mac.

New to the MacAir. Moved documents and photos from computer to flash drive. How do I now move to Mac? And how do I drag and drop?

New to the Mac and not finding manual helpful. Did not want to move everything from my old computer so just put the phots and documents I wanted on a thumb drive but don't know how to now move them onto the computer. Something talks of drag and drop but it won't move.
thank you
Jeanne

Understood, ... go into FINDER at top then PREFERENCES then GENERAL tab
then check "hard disks" and "external disks"
THIS WILL PUT A HD ICON ON YOUR DESKTOP YOU CAN OPEN AND DRAG AND DROP FILES TO (or from)
THEN verify the format of your external HD
go to DISK UTILITY and verify what it says your HD is formatted as under the "ERASE" tab
HFS+ above is the "mac format" however do NOT erase / format the HD, since this will erase it.....UNLESS you want to do this
Format (erase) it in "mac osx Extended journaled"
AFTER THIS YOU CAN DRAG AND DROP FILES AS YOU LIKE

HOW TO BURN ITUNE MOVIES TO DVD

i bought itune movies for my kids, i tried to burn them on dvd but they would not play in the car when we go for a road trip. Can anyone help me?

You cannot do this. You can make a backup copy to data dvd, but you CANNOT burn to a dsik that you can watch in a DVD player.
From the itunes store terms of service.

How to burn/convert VIDEO_TS from Mac The Ripper??

Ok, I just used MacTheRipper to rip a DVD with Video_Ts and Audio_TS folders.
Now my question is, how can I convert these into a disk-image, or how can I now burn this to a DVD? Thanks in advance

I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware
But it's worth every cent of it! I have been using it for a long time and can't even remember the last time I stuffed up a disk, burning DVDs Music & MP3 CDS, photo cd's data etc.
I have tried a couple of freeware and shareware programs that are supposed to be ok, but spent most of the time producing drink coasters. if there is one program I think everyone should fork out for it would be Roxio Toast.
maybe someone can recommend a freebie, but I will always swear by Toast and think it has easily paid for itself already.
Cheers

Hi ycngjack1:
You're fine putting just video content on your DVD. There's no rule that says you have to have a menu.
You'll want to set the "First Play" option in DVDSP to your Track that contains your video. By default, a DVDSP project starts with one Menu and one Track with "First Play" set to the menu.
720x576 is the correct frame size for a PAL MPEG2 stream, whether it's full frame material (4x3) or widescreen material (16x9). You need to be sure to set the "Display Mode" setting for the Track correctly in DVDSP in the Inspector palette. Also, this setting must correspond with your Video Stream for correct results. In other words, you place full frame clips into a full frame Track and widescreen clips into a widescreen Track. If you need to mix the two, you have to address this prior to encoding or importing the clips back in your editing applications (Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, After Effects, etc.) and conform your footage to either full frame or widescreen.
Getting back to your question, "can i burn in 16:9 letterbox so that widescreen on normal tv but fullscreen on lcdtv?" It sounds like you are talking about creating a "hard matte", meaning that your 16x9 image is scaled proportionally to fit within a 4x3 image, leaving black bars at the top and bottom (the letterbox). This will result in a letterbox picture on a 4x3 TV and a pillarbox picture (black on the sides) on a 16x9 LCD TV that's also letterbox inside of that.
Without actually seeing your source footage, it's hard to tell you exactly what to do.
For the results that I think you are looking for, you'll want your 16x9 picture to be squeezed into 720x576 (everything should look thin and distorted without black bars at the top and bottom),
This might also help:
a. Place your clips into a Track and set the Display Mode to 4:3 (the first setting of four, the others being 16:9 Pan-Scan, 16:9 Letterbox, and 16:9 Pan-Scan & Letterbox).
b. Set the Track to be the "First Play".
c. Click the "Simulate" button.
d. While the Simulator is running, change the Display Mode between the three options: 4:3 Pan-Scan, 4:3 letterbox, and 16x9.
e. Quit the Simulator and change the Track Display Mode to the next setting, 16:9 Pan-Scan.
f. Run the Simulator again and change the Display Mode between the three options.
g. Repeat this until you've done all four of the Track Display Mode Settings.
This should help you reverse engineer your source footage.
Good luck!

How to burn/convert files from Mac The Ripper??

Ok, I just used MacTheRipper to rip a DVD with Video_Ts and Audio_TS folders.
Now my question is, how can I convert these into a disk-image, or how can I now burn this to a DVD? Thanks in advance

What kind of burner do you have?
You need software to convert a Video_TS folder into the format necessary for a DVD to play on a DVD player.
One of the programs that will do this is Toast Platinum.
You need more than a blank DVD and a mere burner.
Google for conversion programs.

How to burn downloaded movie clips to dvd

some friends emailed me a home movie and i can't get it to burn. i put it in toast and it showed that it burned but it wouldn't work in the dvd player.

You have two options:
1<</div>
If you want to burn just as a file for other computers to read it, then just drag it to the blank DVD-R, CD-R, DVD-ROM, etc.
2<</div>
If you want to burn it as a tracked DVD for DVD players to read for special purposes, then use a simple application called iDVD. Just follow through its guidelines and soon you'll be able to burn it. Just remember to use DVD-Rs.
Hope that helps...
